Low key is the exact opposite of what is conveyed in a majority of hip hop songs...

I used to think debadging was lame but now I love it! I did it to my car and I think it looks so much cleaner. I guess I used to not like it because I would see people debadge their car and then throw on some random like a 323 putting on an m3 logo wannabees!. Or no offense but I dont care for people debadging Acuras and putting the Honda emblem on it (cough cough, Accord Type R) 
but no thanks! My car is much nicer and much better than a regular Honda and I am proud it is made by Honda but for example, I would never throw a Ford emblem on a Jaguar or Aston Martin or a VW label on a Bentley! but to each his own... thats just my opinion!

Does anyone have a before AND after picture from the same angle to compare? Don't have a TSX yet, but already know I will tell the dealer he can keep the car if he dares to put his dealer logo on. I kinda like the clean look as well, but would like to see a good comparison?

I think keeping the Acura emblem on is good. Did u fill in the holes virtualbong?
IMO dont need to go so far to take off the emblem too... but it still looks nice

I wouldn't debage my car. I happen to like shiny objects. It kinda makes it look a little cheaper to me. The only time I would ever debadge something is pulling the little red "V6" emblem off the Accord Coupe EX-V6 MT, so that people think they're up against a 4cyl if they don't notice that the 6MT has unique wheels.

vbongI actually just removed the Acura and TSX emblems, not the A emblem. Those were photoshopped.

what exactly do you need to do to remove these?

I used a hairdryer (put it right over the emblem) got the glue from the tape nice and warm and used some dental floss and a credit card to take the emblem off and as much as the tape as I could, of course there was still tape so i picked as much off of the thick parts off as I could with my fingers and then I used Goo Gone and wiped it with my finger to avoid scratching the paint at all.
Worked for me
